Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

RE: Most likely, it is perfectly OK.


Thank you guys

Eh 6ca7 fat bottle has been my reference tube in mv 50 for years :

it was the safe path!

I have the original genelex kt 77 .a perfect matched quartet:i've

never tried them ;there will be the right time .

Listening from baroque to techno ,i wait a long time before

judging a tube ,or a certain mix of tubes;i try to be the more

scientific that i can ;i measure tubes of the same batch

and then listen tryin to exrapolate a paradigm.

My experiments may last months on the very same tube.

I found that often ther's no reason to prefer nos on new tubes or

vic eversa :a good tube is a good tube ,first because it's in his

specs,second (but very first)because do the trick ...the magic.

I often can't tell if two tubes having same specs ,sound the same :

maybe one is magic ,the other only good .

For sure G.e,telefunken ,tungsram,old tesla etcetera produced great

tubes ;but the magic tube hide itself sometimes beyond a dark getter

or a common 6h23ev.

Turning back on thread :now i'm focused on common russian el34 :

i've always thouht that eh el 34 was only an honest tubes ,but i

found that it was magic mixin it with Tung-sol el34 -b.

So assuming that a push -pull can work correctly only with

a balanced series of electrical parameters (transconductance,

gain,etc.),that it's what i wanted to point it out .

I wanted to share this experience with this particular amp ,and curious

to know if anybody had similar experience ;just to learn more ,

and not for saying the tube A is better than tube B.

Thank you for your kind attention.

Marko
